CHARLES ANDERSON, OF DOWVNERS GROVE, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO HIM- SELF ANDEUGENE W. FARRAR, OF SAME PLACE.

COMBINED SCREEN AND STORM DOOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 313,844, dated March17, 1885.

Application filed January 2, 1895.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES ANDERSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Downers Grove, in the county of Du Page and State ofIllinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Screenand Storm Doors, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to combined screen and storm doors; and itconsists in a door having its panel-openings provided with screens, andalso removable panels secured to the door-frame by sliding clamps,whichlit in suitable mortises in the frame and operate to clamp the panelssnugly to the frame. Screws inserted through slotsin the panel serve totighten the clamps.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification,and in which simi lar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1is a side elevation of a door embodying my invention, one of theremovable panels being taken off. Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross-section online 2 2 of Fig. 1, showing the clamp and means of securing theremovable panel to the frame; and Fig. 3 is a back view of one of thepanels in perspective.

In said drawings, A represents the doorframe, which is or may be of anysuitable c011- st-ruction. B is a wire screen secured in thepanel-openings on one face of the frame by moldings b, which rest on theedges of the screen and fit in the shoulder or recess 1), cut in theframe. 0 C are the removable panels, which are provided with shoulders Gto fit the door-frame, and with narrow slots 0, through which areinserted the clamp-screws c, by which the clamps D are tightened andheld in place. The clamps D fit in suitable recesses or mortises, d, inthe inner edges of the frame. The panels are provided with squarerecesses or notches c opposite the mortises d in the frame, and theouter ends of the clamps or clips D are bent or provided with shouldersd, to fit in these grooves or recesses 0 which thus serve as a guide forthe clamps. The recesses c are made long enough to per- (Nu model.)

niit the clamps D to slide back, when the screws 0 are loosened farenough to disengage from the frame, and thus permit the panel to beremoved. The recesses c" serve to prevent the clamps from turning and toguide them into the mortises when the screw is loosened and the panelsare being secured.

In the summer, when the door is to be used as a screen-door, the panelsCare removed by simply loosening the screws 0, when the clamps D may beslipped back sufficiently to disengage them from the mortises in theframe. When it is desired to use the door as a stormdoor, these panelsare secured in place.

I hereby disclaim the devices heretofore patented to B. J. WVilliams inLetters Patent N 0. 148,793, of March 17, 1874, and to J. F. Martin inPatent No. 225,81-7, of March 28,. 1880.

I claim 1. The combined screen and storm door, consisting of thedoor-frame A, screens B, and removable panels 0, provided with slidingclamps D, for removably securing said panels in place, substantially asspecified.

2. The combination, with door frame A, provided with mortises d, of wirescreens B, removable panels 0, provided with slots 0, and sliding clampsD, provided with screws a, substantially as specified.

3. The combination, with frame A, provided with mortises d, of removablepanels 0, provided with slots 0, recesses c", and shoulder 0, and clampsD,provided with shoulders or bends d, fitting in recesses c ,and screwa, substantially as specified.

4. The combination, with door-frame A, provided with shoulder 12 andmortises d, of screens B, moldings b,for securing said screens in place,removable panels 0, provided with shoulders 0, slots 0, and recesses 0and sliding clamps D, fitting in said recesses and engaging saidmortises, and provided with screws 0, substantially as specified.
